How to apply for NYSC relocation and redeployment

It can be more difficult if as a corps member you don't have a genuine reason for the redeployment you seek.

Although all corps members have the right to seek redeployment, before doing that, the NYSC expects you to have a concrete reason for considering a redeployment.

Here are five reasons that'll make the NYSC management consider corps members redeployment applications.

1. Health

Any corps member who has a recurring illness that required them to be closely monitored are allowed to apply for redeployment to any state where they can get medical attention. However, before you apply, you will need a medical report from your institution’s medical centre or from a recognized hospital.

2. Marriage

Seeking redeployment on a marital ground most times apply to only female corps members who want to live with their husband.

Such corps members are expected to write an application letter stating why he/she wants to be relocated to another state of her choice.

Applying on a marital ground will require you to attach three documents to your letter, they are:

2. A valid marriage certificate

A document showing the change of name in any of the National Newspapers and Affidavit

A letter from your husband’s workplace which will serve as an evidence that your husband is domiciled in the state you want to relocate to

Note that the letter is expected to be addressed to the Director General of the NYSC through the State Coordinator.
